Can WiFi and Bluetooth be enabled through adb using Fire TV Sticks USB connection?
Think I've bricked my first-gen Amazon Fire TV Stick. It's had a good run though, installed a bunch of different apps and one was a task optimizer.

Think I've bricked my first-gen Amazon Fire TV Stick. It's had a good run though, installed a bunch of different apps and one was a task optimizer. It has disabled the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the device and now it can't be remotely controlled at all. I have the stick plugged into the laptop through USB and connected to adb but no idea if I can control it through that or input a code to enable either the WiFi or Bluetooth. Any help would be much appreciated.

Restore backup.ab file on Amazon Fire TV Stick?
I'm trying to restore a backup file onto an Amazon Fire TV Stick 2 using `adb restore backup.ab`, however, the restore confirmation doesn't come up on the Fire TV Stick. The device is rooted and currently have TWRP. Is there a way to force restore without a confirmation?

**Making Skype calls through Amazon Fire TV Stick** I have a Samsung Smart TV which does not use Android; I thought all smart TVs were Android and the return date had passed. To get around this, what I propose is to use an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Amazon Fire TV Stick has a power USB port which I link to something [like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96jycuEMm2k) where a USB hub could be used to add a camera and microphone. I was wondering if this system would work to make video calls with Skype on Fire TV Stick. I understand that even if my TV was an Android TV, Skype has discontinued its services on smart TVs. However, I really want to know if this system would work because then I could also use it on other conferencing software like Zoom.

I have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a video file. I want to play on loop for a several hours. I have attached the USB to the Firestick using an OTG dongle. I have the Kodi app to play the video on a loop using a playlist set to repeat all. But I want to make sure, while it's playing, it won't turn off on its own due to some timeout or sleep setting even if it plays for like 6 hours straight. Does anyone know if it would happen and what settings to change to prevent this?
